WDMF in Action

If you try to use to our new Download and Licensing center, you will notice it looks quite different than before. We completely redesigned the application. It is now a Flex client communicating with a .NET backend using WebORB and WebORB Data Management for Flex (WDMF). It was very interesting (and satisfying) experience using our own product to build the application. It took about 4 days, and the majority of time was spent on the client-side. 99% of the backend
functionality was already generated by the WDMF code generator.

I also would like to start a side-project using WDMF so I can blog about my experiences building a Flex application with the framework and definitely share the code. This will result in a sample application anyone can try and see how it is implemented. I am thinking of a customer support incident tracking system. This is something we could use internally and I am sure many other people would benefit from too. If you have any other ideas for a data-driven Flex application, please leave a comment.
